: Thieves visited several wagon houses
in and about Pittstown, last Thursday
night From Mr.. VIM. Stryker's wagon
house a set of very good harness, fynets
and some blankets were taken. About
twenty pounds of butter was taken from
Mr.. David Conover's milk house. That
several other places were visited was
proven by the disordered condition in
which blankets, harness, &C., were found
the next morning. However, we have
not learned that anyone else sustained
any loss.
Councilman Kearns is as modest as
l.o o,ie Il
Ward caucus returns to Pennington on
Monday, but his modesty kept him from
interfering with the general harmony by
presenting them. It is fair to say in be-
half of Mr.. Kearns that he claims that
he had nothing to do with doctoring the
returns. He left the polling place for q
short time, and while he was gone, some
wicked partners" must have done it.
Mr.. Kearns' reputation in this commun-
ity, entities this statement to unqualified
belief.
Billy Morris, the well-known negro
minstrel, died at Portland, Pa, Thurs
day. He had an eventful history, and
had he lived few weeks longer would
have received nearly $4,000 pension
money. After serving in the war of the
rebellion he became dissipated, then re-
Termed and travelled with Francis Muir
ply and other temperance reformers.
His last years were spent at Portland. =
Exchange. Morris will be remembered
by our citizens as taking part in the
temperance meetings held in this city
few years ago by Dave Frost.
AT meeting of the State Board of
Health, in Trenton, on Monday, DIR.
Hunt gave it as his opinion that the
cause of much of the prevailing diphthe-
ria is the sudden heating up of houses
where vegetable matter has accumulated
during the summer. Vegetables are al
lowed to lie around in cellars, etc, dur
ing the summer till they finally wither.
The fires bniIt in the furnaces in autumn
stir up the vegetable matter, and a Pc
culiar dampness from it at once pervades
the house. DR.. Hunt says he has inyes-
tigated the subject at considerable
length.
While "Mrs. Cleveland's husband"
is off on 'junketing tour" (as the DEM
ocratic papers used to call such excursions
when Republican presidents made them),
the administration forces in this city are
sadly demoralzed. Its candidate in the
First Ward only received four votes
at the late caucus and brother Foran in.
forms us that these votes have mysteri.
ously disappeared True, it is claimed
that there were moro votes east for the
administration, but the new patent dn-

This system beats that used by the Hud-
son county Democrats at regular cleo
tions, and would ensure bigger MAORI

by the "manipulator' box used by them.
